Anyone been to Tallinn?

I'm spending a few days in Estonia and wondering if anyone had recommendations for dinner in Tallinn. We won't be renting a car, so nothing outside the city or too far off the beaten path. Also, English-speaking staff would be nice since my Estonian isn't quite up to par.

Other than that - it can be any type of food, any price range...as long as it's good!

May be too late now...but just been and a) avoid Old Haus apart from a novelty drink (though the hot nuts outside are good!) and b) try Gloria. Not the Grand Russian Belle Epoque restaurant upstairs, but rather the secret wine bar downstairs. You enter through a wine shop, where you can buy your wines for the evening, and then there are winding passages into the Gloria restaurant's wine cellars. There are a series of rooms, all beautiful, very evocative, feels undiscovered, roaring fire (though we were still chilly!) The food was 'fine' - we shared some charcuterie and smoked and pickled fish, then filet mignon for some, choucroute for others...but the wine and the place itself made the night.
